"Lizzie"

Hey everyone...hope you are all having a blessed April day!!  Sharon and I have been busy beavers lately promoting our fabulous CeCe Caldwells paints, lovingly restoring treasures found and are always on the endless search to find these pieces!!  Yard sale season is in full swing here in Nashville and Saturday mornings can't come soon enough for us every week!

As you read on our last post, Sharon and I had an epiphany about "naming" our pieces...we like to get personal with them:-))  Anyway, we decided to name them after the precious orphans sponsored by Beautiful Feet Global Outreach

Here is a picture of todays special gal "Lizzie"

Doesn't her smile just make you want to smile? 

Our version of Lizzie is a fabulous solid wood buffet that could be used in so many ways...as an entry hall piece, in a bathroom full of luscious bath products or my personal favorite...in a beach house with a large flat screen TV....just sayin!

Lizzie was painted with CeCe Caldwells 'Smoky Mountain'  for the base coat.  The top coat was in CeCe's 'Simply White'  As usual for me, I heavily distressed the piece for the shabby,beachy look.  CeCe's paint is awesome when it comes to distressing..just get a damp rag and go to town.  As little or as much as you want..you choose, not some piece of sandpaper or sander.  Next,I applied CeCe's all natural clear wax..it goes on like "butta" Love it!  OK, without further ado...may I present "Lizzie"

If you wouldn't mind, please pray for Lizzie and all the rest of the beautiful orphans :-))

Hope you all have a wonderful week...

Stay Shabby!
